The Monthly with All That Geo – July 2021

Welcome to the July issue of The Monthly with All That Geo! Each month, I’ll bring you a four-part newsletter focused on the learning of mapping and data visualisation skills:

• In The Spotlight – I’ll introduce you to data visualisation tools I have personally explored and reviewed.
• Geo For Good – you’ll discover inspiring organisations and projects enabled by location data.
• Frenchy’s Tip – you’ll get valuable tips to make your mapping and data visualisation journey easier.
• Tales of All That Geo – the first webcomic on the intersection of Geography, GIS and Women in Tech, drawing on my lived experience and stories others have shared with me.

In The Spotlight

CARTO and the empowering user experience

There is something empowering about a tool that does not require a lot of training and fiddling around to produce an impactful result.
